Detective Ghost Empress

168 High altitude

Ji Yu stiffened, she wanted to say something but soon she realised that she could not say anything. She tried to open her mouth and say something many times but no matter how many times she tried to speak, there was nothing she could say to Liu Hui Ying, with her face burning in shame she stood up from the floor and then without even bidding Liu Hui Ying goodbye, she turned around and left.

It wasn’t that she didn’t know that she was in the wrong, she did. She knew better than anyone that she was in the wrong ...what she was asking from Liu Hui Ying was completely unreasonable but what happened in the morning caused her to be worried about losing the man she has been chasing for such a long time.

She, however, when thought about how the Queen has been getting closer to the Emperor after their confrontation, and could not stop herself which was why she came looking for Liu Hui Ying. Back then she did not think that there was anything wrong with it.

But now that Liu Hui Ying has pulled all the thoughts that she was hiding in her heart out, she could no longer face her anymore.

Watching Ji Yu escape from her room, Liu Hui Ying clicked her tongue feeling slightly annoyed. She banged her chopsticks on the table and let out an annoyed ‘Cheh’ before saying, ” Damn, she ruined my mood. How long do I have to suffer like this? Dang, it! Is that man some sort of golden egg-laying chicken or what, why are these women so obsessed with him?”

” In a way he does,” Li Gang and the others stayed silent when they saw that Ji Yu came looking for Lin Hui Ying. They too heard what Ji Yu said and couldn’t help but agree with Liu Hui Ying who was muttering about the incompetence of a woman who did not know about her worth. ” That man is the Emperor of the country as long as they are with him what else do they need to worry about?”

“But this is pure obsession,” Jia Li said with a sage-like expression on her face as she picked up on a spot on her chin and then floated to the seat where she was sitting and then picked up the chopsticks that she has smashed into the bowl of hot and sour soup when she saw that someone was coming. ” She might be acting like she is someone who is not obsessed with the Emperor but I can smell obsession when I see one, she is going to be a lot of trouble if we stay here.”

” I agree with Li Li,” Grandma Lan Fen too sat down where she was sitting earlier and then looked at Liu Hui Ying. ” I think it will be wise of you to leave this place as soon as possible, that girl...she smells nothing but trouble to me.”

” What do you think I am doing?” Liu Hui Ying snapped at them with a fierce expression on her face. She once again smacked her hand on the table and then said with a grimace, ” I have been trying to look for the soul of this woman but I couldn’t look for her at all, it seems like she has moved on but I cannot sense her doing that either, I just cannot understand where the soul of this woman go!”

.....

This was her first time being fooled by a soul but even after looking at the soul who was in charge of doing something like this to her, she could not find her at all.

Just the very thought of how she was dragged into this place in exchange for some cowardly, annoying little crybaby was enough to make her grind her teeth. How the freak can a soul just vanish into nothingness like it never existed?

” What if...”Li Gang suddenly spoke with a soft voice. ” What if this woman exchanged her soul with yours? I mean there is a chance of her doing this as well right?”

” There is but I know that she hasn’t done something like that,” Liu Hui Ying tapped her fingers on the table as she narrowed her eyes and recalled what happened to her on the cliff. ” She is here, I have a feeling ...she is hiding but she is here, something about this entire mambo jumbos feels off to me. The woman’s soul is locked by something, there is something that she wants very much and because of that she must be still roaming here.”

She rubbed her chest and added, ” I felt that ache of wanting something but not getting it when she came here.”

“Does she wants the Emperor?” Jia Li asked with a glittering interest in her eyes as she looked at Liu Hui Ying when she saw that Liu Hui Ying was not getting what she was trying to say, she immediately turned on her seat and then said with a snicker, ” I mean it, after all when we saw the woman the first time, the woman was saying something about losing everything and then we know that the Emperor was cold to her which was why she killed herself. Maybe what she wants is the love of the Emperor?”

She waited for Liu Hui Ying to understand what she was trying to say but then she heard Liu Hui Ying shake her head as she waved her hand and said, “Let’s just focus on getting back home, there is something that we should be missing...something...” a look of comprehensive fell on her face as she snapped her fingers and with a finger pointing at no one, she excitedly said, ” Its the cliff, that woman appeared at the edge of a cliff and a ghost only appears at the places where they have great memories or obsession with, I bet that the soul of this woman has something that she can only find at a cliff.”
